00:00Let's get to the card here, Keith, and I want to do the outrights first, and I have to mention

00:08this just because I love this guy, because he gave me one of my biggest first-round leader

00:13hits ever.

00:15I think it was two years ago when the Smother Man, also in Mexico, hit, and it was a 130-to-1

00:22first-round leader I nailed him with.

00:24And look at this!

00:25You got him on the card this week!

00:27I love it!

00:28Let's go!

00:29Well, I'll tell you what, every time I say his name in my head, I always kind of hum

00:32Pearl Jam's Nothing Man, right?

00:34Smother Man.

00:35You know, I mean, you just have to say it.

00:37It's absolutely fantastic.

00:38And you know what's even better?

00:40This guy leads the field right now.

00:41If you look back just 24 rounds, he's number one in this field in tee-to-green.

00:47That's a fact, Carver.

00:48I'm telling you.

00:49This kid can play.

00:50And Paspalum, which is the, like, funky, spongy, grainy grass that we get down there, seaside

00:55in Mexico and in some of the island events, is his best putting surface.

00:59So I love the Smother Man coming in hot with his ball striking.

01:02And you know what?

01:03Last year, he had some success here as well.

01:05It's a triple-digit winner, but I mean, look at this field.

01:08I mean, the favorite is Max Grazerman at 16-to-1.

01:11He's never won.

01:12So, I mean, I like our chances of trying to hit a big one here or somebody in that middle

01:16tier like a Harry Hall.

01:18Harry, kid's in the hall.

01:19He's sitting there at 30.

01:20I love how he has played recently.

01:23Guy makes a ton of birdies.

01:24I mean, that is the thing this week.

01:25You have got to be able to score.

01:28And he's second in the field in birdie or better.

01:30That's Harry Hall.

01:31He's had a couple of good finishes in a row.

01:32He was good at the Zozo where it was tight ball striking and needed to make birdies.

01:36And he was great at home at the Shriners.

01:38Lucas Glover, the Glove Man.

01:40You know what?

01:41He has been reinvigorated this fall.

01:42He won twice in 23.

01:44He comes back this year.

01:45He doesn't make the playoffs.

01:46Well, you know what?

01:47He said it on a Sirius XM show.

01:48He goes, I need to get, I need to get better.

01:50These kids are better than me.

01:52And I'm a major champion.

01:53He's only one of two major champions in this field.

01:55The other one being Danny Willett.

01:57Who?

01:58Danny Willett.

01:59But you know what?

02:00Lucas Glover, he's sitting there at 30 to 1 and a guy that just finished 13th, 3rd,

02:04and 3rd.

02:05And then one more guy, Harry English.

02:07Four wins.

02:08And one of those career wins was at Mayakoba on Pass Palom in this event probably six different

02:13names ago.

02:14But Harry English is a four-time winner on the PGA Tour, can go deep in these types of

02:19events, and he's been playing very well this fall.

02:22He certainly has, Keith.

02:24I like Harry English on my card as well here.
